Keynote Information

David Schaub is an inspirational speaker who helps college students take their next steps in their college career and beyond. What’s a next step? A next step is when you make a decision to move forward with something that is going to bring you into greater freedom and purpose.

When college students are focused on taking next steps versus what’s going wrong they feel empowered to move forward. This increases student engagement, student retention and keeps them focused on what’s important. Stagnation comes from a lack of clarity, energy and purpose. Helping college students take next steps takes care of all three.

Dave currently lives in his hometown of Buffalo, NY, and he has a classic rags to riches tale: he was raised by a single mom in a poor family, got in a lot of trouble, and ended up in jail; but then he worked his way through a multimillion dollar company until he became his own boss. He ran the “Leadership Academy” for college students through his company for five years in Buffalo NY. This was all done before the age of 27. David wants to impact more than the city of Buffalo and has now taken his speaking nationally across the United States the past few years. His passion is fueled by helping others take their next steps. He has been where college students have been and has trained countless college students to have success in their college careers and beyond.
